KotH Hoax RC3a

[Suna]

Suna submitted a new resource:

Hoax - They're back.

Did I fully detail this map in A1?
Yes, yes I did. And I have several reasons as for why.

1: I enjoy it
2: It's good detail practise
3: This is the remake (spiritual successor?) of my first map, as part of the 2021 Jam Milestone rewards.

Anyway, have fun!

• Fixed some props not rendering
• Fixed some sounds not playing during the finale
• Cow abduction now occurs on a timer, rather than happening the entire round

I hope you know that I nearly choked half to death laughing when I went up the beam at the point and heard [REDACTED]. Really awesome map and I love the use of jumppads on a map that isn't Passtime, since I don't see them quite often other than there. Keep up the amazing work, Suna! I'll be sure to make another post if I see any issues.

Suna updated Hoax with a new update entry:

Release candidate speedrun (special beta skip technique!!!)

• Removed the barn near the cornfield

This structure generally only ended up cluttering the area and reducing opportunities for creative gameplay, which is what this map is meant to be all about. The building has been replaced by a stack of hay, and displacements have been adjusted to compensate for the removal. Snipers should now have a much better time in this area, though they are left very exposed.

• Reworked the main barn side room

This room was...

Suna updated Hoax with a new update entry:

The 'Finale' Update

• Major skybox artpass

I wasn't happy with how the skybox and OOB areas were looking, so I took another crack at them to try and convey a more 'isolated farm' kind of vibe, as well as pushing further into the alien invasion theme.

• Laser beams now target the mothership in the finale

Hitting the UFO was cool, but players were often confused as to why the mothership wasn't hit, or at least the UFO directly above point. I...

The 'Picture Perfect' Update

• Widened even more doorways
• Additional skybox & OOB detailing
• Added menu photos
• Fixed the tractor beam still activating after the UFO has been destroyed
